LOUIS H. BAKER, 0F EVANSVILLE, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF T0 WM. M.

SMITH, OF VANDERBURG COUNTY, INDIANA. v

rocKET.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, Louis H. BAKER, a citizenof the United States. residing at Evansville, county of Vanderburg, andState of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPockets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to pockets.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide an improved pocket forthe jacket, trousers, or apron o f overalls, wherein a plurality ofcompartments or sub-pockets, ar-

ranged in a new relationship, will bc provided, adapting the pocket forholding the usual tools, implements or devices which a machinist,engineer, carpenter or other artisan customarily considers should beconvenie-ntly carried on the person when overalls are worn.

Another object of my invention is the provision of a. self-containedpocket, provided with the plurality of sub-pockets or compartments, aspreviously set forth, and which may be constructed as a separate articleof manufacture and applied to the jacket, trousers or apron of overallsor to any garment either by sewing or by the use of ybuttons orfasteners.

One embodiment of the invention is set forth fully hereinafter anddisclosed in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a frontview of the pocket, dotted lines showing the lines of seams or stitchingfor securing the pocket to the garment and for providing the sub-pocketsorV compartments; Fig. 2, a View like Fig. 1, showing differentimplements vand devices in the sub-pockets; Fig. 3, a section on line 33, Fig. 1; Fig. 4, a section on line 4 4, Fig. 1; Fig. 5, a section online 5 5, Fig. 1; and Fig. 6, a view like Fig. 1, showing how the pocketmaybe made separately and attached by buttons or fasteners to thegarment.

l My pocket may 'be made as a part of the overalls or garment, as shownin- Figs. 1 to 5, or, it may be made as a separate and selfcontained.pocket composed of similar pieces of material which can be attached tooveralls or garment, as in Fig. 6. c

The overalls is shown at 1 and the complete pocket at 2. The pocket isprovided with the lower sub-pocketsA or compartments any 3 and 4 whichhave laterally-extending `or Specification of Letters Patent.

opening mouths 5 and 6. The pocket 3 is closedr at its bottom bystitching 7 and up its side to the point 8 where the opening 5originates. The pocket 4 is closed by stitching 9 at its bottom whichextends up to the point 10 where the lower end of the opening 6originates. The pockets 3 and 4 are separated and demarked by anintermediate line of stitching or a seam 11 which branches into theseams l2 and 13 that close the tops of 'the pockets 3 and 4 and form thebottoms for the upper, vertically extending subpockets or compartments14, 15, 16, 17, 18,

19 and 20 which are separated by the parallel, vertical lines ofstitching 21. The upper sub-pockets 14, 15, 1G, 17, 18, 19 and 2O are.provided with mouths 22 (F ig. 5). Stitch- In Fig. 6, I haveillustrated how the pocket may be manufactured separately of similarpieces of material placed face to face and stitched together to formpockets and sub-pockets and afterward secured to the overalls or anyother garment by the use of any suitable buttons or fasteners 24, such,for instance, as-two-part, penetrating point, self-locking buttons orfasteners such as are commonly known.

I am aware that my pocket is susceptible* of modifications and I do not,therefore,

limit myself to the details of its construction, but

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. Apocket comprising lower independent sub-pockets separated by stitchingand having separate entry mouths opening in opposite directions, andarranged on substantially the same level, and a plurality of independentcompartments or sub-pockets extending in a general up-and-down directionand disposed above the lower subpockets and provided lwith entry mouthsat their upper portions. v

2. A pocket provided with a central up and down seam or line ofstitching having a plurality of upper sub-pockets having laterallydiverging upper branches defining closed lower e ds, said last-namedsubtwo lower sub-pockets, saidsuh-poketszhgwf A 1""por- 10 ing lateralmouths opening l@infnop} ),`0Steledll'ections, and up and down lines ofstitch?
